Top 10 New Technologies in 2020 Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

· 3 min read
Mercedes-Benz continuously releases game changing design, performance, and technology innovations that make driving easier, safer, and more much pleasing. Mercedes-Benz Media Newsroom USA shares with us the Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG Top '10' New Technologies Introduced for the 2020 Model Year.

  1. MBUX with Interior Assistant

  • Equipped with a camera in the overhead console recognizes movements of the driver’s and front passenger’s hands and arms. When approaching the center console touch screen, the media display changes and individual elements are highlighted. There are also other hand gestures that activate certain functions. For example, extending your hand towards the rearview mirror can turn the reading lamp off and on.

  1. E-Active Body Control

  • E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is a fully networked hydropneumatic, active suspension on a 48-volt platform, for the first time in combination with a newly-developed air suspension. Spring and damping forces can be individually controlled at each wheel.

  1. Carwash Function

  • When the Carwash function is selected the vehicle automatically:
  • Adjusts the suspension to the highest position.
  • Folds in the exterior mirrors.
  • Closes the side windows and the sliding sunroof.
  • Suppresses the rain sensor information so that the windshield wipers remain switched off in the carwash.
  • Switches the climate control to air-recirculation mode and, after eight seconds, activates the 360° camera's front image to assist the driver when driving into the carwash.
  • Deactivates these settings automatically when the driver drives out of the carwash and accelerates to a speed above 12 mph.
This is a standard function for the next generation GLS.

  1. Fully-variable 4MATIC

  • The highly successful 4MATIC system is now fully variable all-wheel. The system can vary torque distribution between the front and rear axle from 0-100%.

  1. V8 Engine with 48-Volt System

  • Mercedes-Benz added an electrified V8 to the GLE and GLS model ranges with the new GLE 580 and the GLS 580. The powerful, electrified V8 biturbo gasoline engine has a 48-volt on-board electrical system and integrated starter generator. This advanced power plant produces 483 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It is also capable of producing an extra 184 lb-ft of torque and 21 horsepower through EQ Boost over short periods.

  1. New ‘35’ and newly developed ‘45’ engine variant

  • Now offered in the CLA and A-Class, the AMG-enhanced 2.0L Inline-4 turbo engine produces 302 horsepower and is based on the M260 four-cylinder engine in the new A-Class Sedan. The CLA 45 is now powered by the newly developed M139 2.0-liter engine, the world's most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder manufactured for series production producing 382 hp and 354 lb-ft.

  1. Active Stop-and-Go Assist

  • The Active Stop-and-Go Assist driver assistance system allows the vehicle to recognize traffic jams at an early stage, actively supporting the drive in stop-and-go traffic up to approximately 37 mph.

  1. Cross-Traffic Function

  • If there is a danger of a collision with oncoming traffic when making a turn, the vehicle can brake at the speeds typical of such maneuvers.

  1. Exit Warning Function

  • For MY20, vehicles equipped with Blind Spot Assist include an added Vehicle Exit Warning function, which can lower the risk of a collision with other road users after the vehicle is parked, such as passing cyclists. Vehicle Exit Warning monitors the blind spot when the vehicle is at a standstill or parked, and can warn the driver of approaching vehicles, motorcycles or bicycles when opening the door.

  1. ENERGIZING COACH

  • ENERGIZING COACH recommends a specific program depending on the situation and individual.

A Powerful Beast – The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe

Automobile Magazine shares with us Five Things to Love About the Beastly 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe. For those who crave power and fun on the road, the GLC 63 S Coupe will satisfy all your cravings. Continue reading to learn more about the top 5 features of the GLC 63 S Coupe that Automobile Magazine loves. 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe Top speed: 174 mph 0-60 mph: 3.6 sec Weight: 4,511 lb Screen size: 10.25 in Cargo space: 49.4 cu ft Transmission: 9-speed automatic The AMG-Tuned Twin-Turbo V-8 Powertrain Currently for the U.S. market, you can buy an AMG GLC 63 in either coupe or standard SUV body styles. Both come with an AMG-tuned, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. However, for those of you who want more power, take a look at the GLC 63 S Coupe. A pure German muscle car that produces 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft out of the turbo-eight. Hit 0-60 mph in well under four seconds and reach a top speed of 174 mph (non-S models are limited to 155 mph.) Slick Steering Wheel Controls Mercedes-AMG offers its AMG performance steering wheel with an added standard feature on the S model, which it calls the AMG Drive Unit. A dedicated drive-mode dial is placed on the right side of the wheel and twin multi-configurable buttons are placed on the left which allows you to change settings such as exhaust mode, stability control settings, etc. all at the push of a button. MBUX Infotainment Change car settings with voice control. Simply say the words “Hey Mercedes” and give your Mercedes your demands. The 10.25-inch center display screen is perfectly placed on the dashboard to allow you to remain focused on the road while changing settings or making adjustments. Ducktail-style Spoiler The flashy ducktail-style spoiler on the back of the GLC 63 S Coupe makes the model unique and special. Automobile Magazine shares that although the spoiler's true function is unknown, sometimes a little bit of flash is a good thing. Coupe Body Style & Comfort Although the Coupe falls short on headspace and cargo room compared to the standard SUV variant of the GLC 63 (49.4 cubic feet with the seats folded flat versus 56.5), the overall performance of the model outweighs the little bit less of interior space. With Standard Air Body Control sport suspension and dynamic engine mounts, and Comfort-mode drive settings, the GLC 63 S Coupe can be quiet and comfortable when you want it to be or powerful and fun when you're in need of some excitement.
